Installing Apple's Network Link Conditioner Tool

XcodeMacos

Xcode Problem Overview

I have installed xcode 4.3.1 on my machine running Lion.

I can't find the Network Link Conditioner tool anywhere.

I have checked the utilities folder, also the xcode/contents/developer/* directories.. no such luck.

Do I need to install specific components or has this tool been removed or renamed recently?

Xcode Solutions

Solution 1 - Xcode

It's in an additional download. Use this menu item:

> Xcode > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools...

and get "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode".

For Xcode 8+, get "Additional Tools for Xcode [version]".

Double-click on a .prefPane file to install. If you already have an older .prefPane installed, you'll need to remove it from /Library/PreferencePanes.

Solution 2 - Xcode

You can also install any of the Hardware IO Tools without installing XCode itself. Simply visit Apple's Download Center and search for "Hardware IO".
